Chapter7 Sakura's POV:
The next day at school, as I walk around, whenever I pass someone, whispering and pointing follow. I catch some of the things:
"…poor girl, who would do such a thing?"
"Do you think that's really true that she…"
"Um, hello, people!" I say, starting to get irritated. "I can hear every word you're saying!"
Fortunately the bell rings, and I hurry to class. The stares and mutters follow me through the day, and even the teachers look at me funny. At lunch, when I walk in, the entire cafeteria falls silent. I get my lunch and walk to an empty table. With a sidelong glance at everyone, Sasuke gets up and sits down by me. The cafeteria breaks out in loud discussion.
"I'm so sorry Sakura. I have no idea who did it."
"Did what?"
"You haven't heard?!"
"No…"
"I'm sorry. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you know your journal entries? Well, someone put all of them on the school's bulletin boards."
"Ino…" I hiss under my breath.
"What?"
"Nothing. I gotta go."
I march over to Ino's table and stand behind her.
Naruto, sitting across from her, looks up from his food and almost falls off the seat when he sees my expression.
"What? What is it?" Ino asks, turning around.
My eyes narrow to slits.
"We need to talk."
Ino stands up, her expression matching mine.
"What about, Pink?"
Naruto stares at us with wide, scared eyes.
Author's note
Idiot!
"About this mess. Where do you get off posting my journal when I didn't even tell Sasuke anything?"
"Oh, so you think I did it?"
"Um, let me think…YES! Was it not you that threatened to expose me if I told Sasuke anything? And even though I didn't he broke up with you, right?"
"Yeah, but I never had any intention of actually doing it if you did tell."
I take a step back, my expression guarded.
"So you didn't do it?"
She steps towards me, her eyes pleading me to believe her.
"No Sakura."
"Well if you didn't, who did?" I ask, feeling utterly bewildered.
Shikamaru stands up, his eyes cold.
"I did."
